B chromosome
Okay kiddo, so you know how people have chromosomes in their bodies that contain all kinds of information about them? Well, sometimes there are special kinds of chromosomes called B chromosomes. These chromosomes don't have any important information on them, like how tall you'll grow or what color your eyes will be. They're kind of like extra chromosomes that don't do too much.
Scientists aren't exactly sure why B chromosomes exist, but they think they might have something to do with how cells divide or how genetic information gets passed down from one generation to the next.
The thing is, not everyone has B chromosomes. In fact, they're pretty rare in most species. But when they do show up, they usually don't cause any harm. So while B chromosomes might not be all that exciting, they're still a pretty interesting part of how our bodies (and other organisms) work!
